MTL NOVEL Chapter 7
Chapter 7: Radiant and Peerless Young Demon Girl
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expression turned extremely serious.
Having a demon seed is a great taboo, something that society cannot tolerate, and everyone seeks to eradicate it!
Ying Shaoxuan’s expression also changed. He grabbed Zhou Tong’s arm, and with a flash of divine light, a trace of demonic energy indeed oozed from Zhou Tong’s palm.
This kind of aura could only come from the Heavenly Demons.
The so-called Heavenly Demons are the natural enemies of humanity, reveling in the slaughter and consumption of humans—they are the common enemy of the entire human race.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s gaze toward Zhou Tong shifted, filled with disdain and contempt. Some even wished they could tear him to pieces.
“Turns out he’s a demon spawn; how foolish of me to feel pity for him just now. What a good intention wasted on a dog!”
“Can we not insult dogs? A person who has fallen into demonic corruption is worse than a beast and should be immediately executed!”
“Ha ha… no wonder he became so strong; he must have turned to darkness long ago. Perhaps his true nature is that of a waste!”
Ying Shaoxuan’s demeanor also became extremely sharp, his eyes like knives fixed on Zhou Tong. “Is what Mo Liushu said true?”
“Not true!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Tong responded directly.
“Even now you dare to spout nonsense, really a case of not seeing the coffin and not shedding tears. Now we have witnesses and evidence; any more denial is futile!”
Mo Liushu attacked Zhou Tong mercilessly, determined to drive him to a dead end.
“That’s right, for someone who has entered demonic corruption, there’s nothing more to say; just one word: kill!”
“Kill him!”
“Kill him now!”
“We can’t let this demon spawn live; who knows how many more people he will harm!”
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in an uproar, like roaring mountains and tsunami against Zhou Tong. Falling into demonic corruption is everyone’s bottom line; those who actively embrace it must be eradicated!
“Wait, he no longer has a demon seed inside him!”
After a moment, Ying Shaoxuan spoke in a solemn tone, suppressing the chaotic voices.
“How is this possible?”
Many people were stunned. The hard indicator of demonic corruption is the presence of a demon seed within the body. Now that the demon seed is gone, who can still claim Zhou Tong is a demon?
“Regardless, it is an undeniable fact that he has had dealings with the demonic race. For the sake of safety, it is still best to eliminate him.”
Someone suggested, receiving the agreement of many.
Eradicating evil without exception, it is better to mistakenly kill than to let go, this is humanity’s attitude towards the demonic race.
Ying Shaoxuan also furrowed his brows and said to Zhou Tong, “According to the rules of the continent’s enforcers, unless a sect is willing to vouch for you, in your case, you will be sealed in cultivation even if we don’t kill you, and you will never be able to cultivate again. Can you find a sect willing to vouch for you now?”
As soon as this was said, everyone looked toward Mo Liushu on the screen.
“Don’t look at me. The Jade Purity Sect is a reputable sect; how could we vouch for a demon spawn? You can dispose of him as you wish!”
Mo Liushu said coldly, with a mocking glint in Tang Qi’s eyes.
So what if Zhou Tong had an epiphany? In the end, he could not escape a fallen fate; only Tang Qi was the true protagonist of destiny!
“Since that’s the case, there’s nothing else to be done.”
Ying Shaoxuan’s expression turned cold: “According to regulations, I must seal your cultivation, so you can never cultivate again.”
He approached Zhou Tong and slowly raised his hand, preparing to cast a spell.
“Wait, we are willing to vouch for him!”
At that moment, a sweet voice came through, like a clear spring bubbling, bringing like a gentle breeze that refreshes the mind.
The crowd parted, and a girl in red made a stunning entrance. As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of everyone’s attention.
“It’s her!”
Seeing this girl, everyone’s pupils constricted, clearly recognizing that she was someone formidable.
The girl was as pure as flowers emerging from clear water, her bare feet stepping on the ground, immaculate and graceful, every step creating an enchanting presence.
Her beauty was mesmerizing, already showing the signs of a peerless beauty, radiating a captivating charm with every gesture.
“Joyful Union Sect, Azure Cold Moon!”
Someone revealed the girl’s identity. Many people were not unfamiliar with her; during the last Hundred Sects Battle, she dominated the competition, securing second place, only behind Zhou Tong.
And the Joyful Union Sect, by name alone, sounded rather dubious.
However, decades ago, the Joyful Union Sect was a top-tier sect throughout the continent, but due to unforeseen events, it rapidly declined, now only accepting women and nearly at the brink of extinction.
From any angle, there was no reason for the Joyful Union Sect to vouch for Zhou Tong.
This was an unexpected variable; saving Zhou Tong also made Mo Liushu’s expression grow even colder.
Her plan to force Zhou Tong into submission has collapsed again!
“Is the outer-path demoness and her corrupt sect even qualified to vouch for others?”
She derided, trying to dismiss the qualification of the Joyful Union Sect.
“Are you unhappy?”
Azure Cold Moon looked at Mo Liushu. “Would you like my master to personally meet you?”
Upon hearing this, many people gasped in shock.
Although the Joyful Union Sect had fallen, that woman was terrifying.
More than a decade ago, she personally stirred the world into chaos, destroying dozens of factions, yet no one dared to confront her.
It was said that after that battle, she burned out and had little time left, but until her death, no one dared to provoke her.
“Fine, since the Joyful Union Sect is willing to vouch for Zhou Tong, according to the rules, we will not make things difficult for him. However, if anything happens in the future, you will be fully responsible.”
After dropping these words, Ying Shaoxuan left. The other sect leaders lost interest, not even sparing Zhou Tong a glance as they all exited the scene.
At this moment, only Zhou Tong and Azure Cold Moon remained.
The two stared at each other, and a complex emotion flashed in Zhou Tong’s eyes.
If he had any regrets in his past life, it would likely be for the little demoness in front of him.
“Little demoness…”
Zhou Tong murmured softly, unexpectedly evoking a cold laugh from her. In the next moment, a long sword was drawn, pressing against Zhou Tong’s throat.
“I didn’t expect this ungrateful person to have today. Do you remember what you did to me during the Hundred Sects Convention? You’re not worthy to call me that!”
As soon as this was said, everyone froze. It appeared that the two were already acquainted and had a rather involved relationship.
Seeing this, Mo Liushu’s expression changed several times: “So you even have an affair with a demoness; how shameful. It seems my choice was correct. A person as filthy as you is not worthy of being my disciple!”
Zhou Tong directly ignored her words and fixed his gaze on the person in front of him. “Why did you come to save me?”
“You really have a good opinion of yourself. Is it possible that I saved you just so I could kill you myself?”
The girl sneered, pressing the sword further into his throat, which thrilled Tang Qi immensely.
“Kill him, quickly kill him!”
Tang Qi clenched his fists, silently shouting in his heart.
“Say any last words quickly; otherwise, there won’t be another opportunity.”
The girl urged again, seeming quite serious.
However, Zhou Tong was neither sad nor afraid; his gaze was calm, looking at her with a smile like the breeze.
“I’m sorry, I realize my mistakes!”
In just a few short words, they sounded like a thunderclap, hiding immense lethal power.
The little demoness was stunned, her cold expression shattered, causing the long sword to fall to the ground.
Meanwhile, in the Judgment Hall of the Jade Purity Sect, an incredibly icy aura erupted from Mo Liushu.
She had also been completely taken aback by this statement!
This rebellious disciple, even in death, would not yield to her, yet easily succumbed before the demoness!
